If you haven't gotten a chance to read Dragons Love Tacos by Adam Rubin, you have to check it out! Such a fun book about dragons who LOVE tacos and the best way to make friends with dragons is to host a Taco Party but what ever you do don't serve salsa!! Such a silly book for kids especially those with wild imaginations.
Logan loved the book so much that when I heard that Emerald City Theatre had turned the book into a play I just had to get us tickets! Let me tell you this was the perfect outing last week since it was such a rainy yucky Wednesday What made the trip even more fun was that our showing of Dragons Love Tacos was filled with a bunch of other kids Logans age on field trips! So being able to enjoy this fun show with other kids his age I think made the whole trip that much more fun.
As for the show its self, I thought it was great and perfect for the younger crowds. If your worried about your kids not being able to stay focused this wasn't an issue at all for Logan. The whole hour went by so fast and probably because it was filled with lots of fun music, jokes, dancing, and that the cast was interacting with the audience throughout the play! We didn't want it to end, thats how much fun we were having!
If your nervous that the dragons may be to scary trust me when I say they're not, they're probably the friendliest dragons you'll meet! You'll meet a red dragon with wings, a yellow dragon who loves cheese, a white dragon who has cool spikes and blue dragon who's just a little bit shy. All four though have one thing in common they absolutely LOVE tacos!
It was so great to hear all the kids giggle, talk to the dragons, and remember parts of the book that they read. It really was a way to see that when you do read stories to your kids they actually do remember and take in every bit of it which goes to show how important bed time stories and reading with your kiddos is so important and fun! I cannot wait to see what other plays come out next since this for sure will be an activity we want to do more often! Thank God for us living in city filled with these type of things for kids because well lets be honest during our 4 yucky months of winter one can only be stuck in the house for so long!
Here's a link if you guys wanna check out the play which is running through January 3rd, 2016:
